tat GltrEK COMMITTEE, Thc following is an cy.itttet of an article in the Weil winter Review, puh:,ished this day : it is written, we apprehend, from - internal evidence, by one of the corn- " Of Coe enormous sums raised in this country in the shape raf loans for the assistance of the Greeks, it may he instructive to give some account. We are not of opinion Chat agreater portion of fraud and mismanagement attaches to thedisposal of the Greek loans than to many others, which have been less the object of public attention and farther removed from public scrutiny; but a we believe arid know that a feeling of sympathy for the Greeks, and a desire to assist their cause, did in many instances supersede the grosser and more common motive of pLvtiniary interest, vo we think that a valuable lesson tnay be learned for the future out of the disclosures of the past which lave taken place. We shall give, in gross numbers, the patticulars of these loans, as far as we have been able to collect them; and we think that the conviction will be forced on every man's bosom, that the ill-appropriation of the first (if ill applied) must attach to the arrangements made for its ex penditure in Greece, to which so large a portion of it was directly remitted. The mismanagement of the second belongs to England, and we apprehend the details of its expenditure will give no satisfaction to any one. The first loan for 800,000/. produced to the Greeks the net Xlllll of 451,7001. " Out of this loan they paid 80,0001. for interest, anit 1f1,0001. - ttiwards the sinking fund. The amount remitted to - Grotq:e - in specie was 208,700/.; in stores and ammu nition, 9,900/. ; payments made in Greece for the relief Missolonghi, 2,4001.; 5,00(W. for the expenees of the deputation for twelve months ; paid to one of the deputies (Orlando) on his private account., 5,900/.;, repayment of It loan made by Lord Byron to the Greeks, 4,000/. ;, sun dry expenees, 6,3004 ; and a sum of 27,5004 pAiti Dm' to the account of the new loan as the helmet of the old. " The second loan, for 2,000,00., was contracted with ' out rtl. s slightest reference, to the Greek ,Committee, to whom, we have reason to believe, the whole afThir was secret. And this was rather extraordinary, because what ever opinion might have been formed of the committee, they could not but possess a great number of important facts, of which a contractor would have done well to pos sess himself, a1;.4 for his own security and the security of thoic who reliett on his judgment. We think that con tractors its general hold - far too cheap the responsibility on which they stand to the public, and that, when monies are lent to young ,and feeble GoVernments, like that of 'Greece, some guarantees should be obtained for their pro per application., Had the large sums raised for. Greece been well and wisely applied, there can he no doubt that the soil of Greece would at that this•moment be untrodf den by an invader. As it is, the money has corrupted her chieftains, fomented her factions, lowered her character, and alienated many of her friends ; while those who ad vanced it have only to anticipate final and total loss; for, notwithstanding every recommendation that urgency itself • could impress upon the Greek Government, no Measures whatever have been taken for the payment of the stipulated interest, or for the fulfilment of her part of the contract with the English lenders. " The nett produce of the aecond loan for 2 ) 000,000/. . was 1,04.6,0001.; and to which the sum of 39,8004 was . received from the former loan s km interest of bonds, and 1,2001. of the Calcutta subscription. The amount reserv ed for interestwas tOO,OOO/. and for the sinking fiord 20,000/. The WM remitted to Greece in bullion appears to have been, in round numbers, 182,400 t ; and 08,2001. Was employed in the purchase of military stores. A sum of 2,20x)1. 2,20 a has been spent in buying up bonds.. To the steam-vessel expedition 160,0001. has been appropriated; and the sum of 158,0001. has been spent at New York, being part of the .cost of two frigates. The Greek Go vernment have drawn for 3!l,7001.; 3,300/. was remitted to the relief of Missolonghil i6,lool.bas been appropriat. ed to the formation of a body of regular troops'. The depu ties' expenses are :.6,0001.; and 12,4100/. seems to have been employed to discharge . minor claims.. It is nearly impossible to verily these statements in detail, but they present a melancholy outline , which will be filled up ac cording to the temper or the knowledge. of the inquirer. " Among the largest items by which the expenditure of the received loan is accounted for, is the sum of 15.5,0001. employed in America for the building of frigates. Nothing but infatuation, gross ignorance, or dishonesty, will serve trr account for this strange misappropriation of the Greek mousy. At a moment when instant assistance to Greece is all-important —at a moment,•too, when it is within our knowledge that many ships of war, cheap, and ready for sea, were to be found in European ports, a cavalry officer is engaged, at an enormous salary, and is dispatched to the United States with vague instructions—instructions in consistent, too, with the orders of the Greek Government ; and, after spending 155,0001. in the erection of two fri gates, it is discovered that •a very large sum, not leas than 50,000/. more, is wanting to complete them; and the re , suit is, that both of them get confiscated as security for the debt for which they are said to be responsible. The most favourable result that can now be anticipated :a, that one should be sacrificed to save the other; and the Greeks will possess a frigate at a price for which all the annals of offi cial, jobbing present no parallel. " There are ninny reasons why we cannot go through the strange jumble of facts and fictions; of assumptions, of declamations, vituperations and conceits which are con tained in Count Palma 's pamphlet. But we think the very serious charges brought in it against Sir Francis Burdett, ,Mr.llobhouse, and !sir. Ellice require from them an early disclaimer. Men who owe their reputation to public ,opinion must.pot treat that tribunal nightly ; and certainly Mitch obloquy, undeserved in our opinion, attaches to them in consequence of the part they are supposed to have taken in the projected expedition of Lord Cochrane. But it is our deliberate conviction, that, the delays and disappoint mots which have hitherto interfered with its completion, are much more attributable to his Lordship himself than to Any other party. The vessels were built, the machinery constructed, under his own directions; the builders and engineers were wholly of his own choosing; chosen, too, against the opinion of others, who were, perhaps, better able to judge than Lord Cochrane could be, of the means they poisessed of fulfilling their engagements, But here, as every where else in the management of Greek affairs, responsibility has been se divided, so extended, 'that it hex afforded no species of security for the accom plishment Of any object proposed. Hence it is, that the hallairie% respecting the mismanagement of these 'rams have tell -to a series of personalities, in which evoaY lium who has been accused has found some ground for attack upon his accuser; and attention has been diverted from-the mow of Greece to the misunderstandings and the Criminatione of those who lutve been in any way associated with her affairs. As the Col tint has beets in recce ' and his narration must he considered it semi-official produc. o at ,, w e shall state such of his opinions at we can unravel from'bis confused and entangled phraseology. 11e deems that ell the miSfortmes have occurred in Greece because the deputies had too little control over the Greek funds. We, on the contrary, think that almost e very ev i l is clearly arid distinctlyto be attributed to their having t oo muc h . Neither in the first loan, whets there might have been som e r the second, wool were' was excuse for inexperience , no no such excuse was a ny sufficient authority exercised hi , order to secure the advantageous e mployment of th e money be owes to save (h e " either in England or (Treece. p ..e hose who motioned the l oan , was always in the hands t °' b honest,intelli ) and they ought to have been,disposecy t tl , n - ex pose( er gent, and active minds, instead of I . )e . g . or cupidity. "Inc efficient rots of ignorance, indolence, .. verriuteot of Greece might have eniaiwed from Eng . land, and Greece have had the benefit of the ma Lary, naval, political, and scientific knowledge of bar advocates. The judicious application o f one- fourth part of the sums which have been raised for Greece wonld, as we• firmly believe, have completely driven the invaders from her soil. It cannot be doubted that the situa tion of Greece is now far less favourable than it was ere . . Ale IA received any pecuniary assistance whatever. The Count's charges against the Greek ComMittee, as far as we can understand them, are, that it ' arrogated to itself the right pj(tire venting certain monies beinw Sent to 11.*cee, and OM:kilted itself the protector of the bond-holders.' NoW the latter part of the t,harge is mainly true, inasmuch as the Committee r.: Ways deeMed that the best poliey. for Greece *at The faithful discharge of the pledges She had gi'Ven to her creditors . ; and the Committee Certainly in structed its agents in Greece tb endeavour to obtain an immediate transfer into the hands of trustees, of such parts of the national property as would ultimately provide fort e reimyrnent of the loan, and in the mean time secure ale remittal of the dividends; The 'COMMittee, not inori In the interest of the bond-holders than in the interest of Greece itself', did frequently and urgently call the attention Of the Greek Government to the neeeiiiit,y ,6f pitividieg for the regular paythent ',of the interest thi - the fiends. the Committee entreated; that if not the whole, at least a part, even 0. teo cargoes of produce, any thing, indeed, which would -be evidence of their intention to fulfil their con tracts, should be despatched to England : and they used not only the moral argument, but the purely stash aro. - meat to the Greeks ; for they told that that ho hiore money wattiti be found, unless early measures *ere WWII to pay the interest on that which was already due ; and that, if this were done, any sums of money which might be required for the salvation of Greece would be easily obtained: The committee failed in their object of securing the property of the creditors of Greece ; it would have been well had they succeeded—well for the English lenders, and better for the Greek borrowers ; it would have - been *ell, too, for the cause of freedom and of man. The other charke - that Count Palma brings forward against the commotee is something like a charge of em bezzlement. Ile asks what became of the '.8,0001. that the Quakers and friends of Greece gave to the committee or its agents, and which were not remitted to the Greek ,deputation in London, since they told me in Greece that not even the half had reached them.' The money which the Quakers raised, andwhich amounted to about 10,0001. was distributed by themselves in works of benevolence— in assistance rendered to fugitive and captive Greeks, and in the education of 'a number of Grecian youths. The Quakers are not—we will tell the Count this secret, as he is a stranger and a foreigner—the Quakers are not accus tomed to employ their resources blindly or foolishly. Some public subscriptions certainly were paid over to the Greek deputation ; that of Calcutta, for instance, which amount ed to 2,2001.; and we discovered on inquiry, to our sur prise and sorrow, that only 1,20 W. had been passed to the credit of the Greek Government, while a note was attach ed to the entry, ' Mr. Orlando will privately account for the remaining 1,000/.' "But we are enabled to give an outline of the manner in which the funds of the Greek Committee have been appropriated, and we are sure public opinion will hear us out in the conviction that these funds - have been well applied. "We regret that publicity has not hitherto been. given to the appropriation of the money committed to their charge; but we think the time is arrived when the com- 1 mittee should no longer hesitate about circulating a tole- j rably minute statement of manner in which they have I discharged their trust; not so much because thsy have been calumniated by those Who would not have been less disposed to calumniate whatever measures the committee might have taken, hut in order to show that they have not only honestly, but prudently applied the pecuniary means placed at their disposal.

Printing, charges, advertising, hills, stationery £10,741 6 8 " Five hundred pounds have been paid, or appropriated towards the education and expenses of the Greek boys who have been cent to England, and this amount will, with a very small difference, balance the sum of subscrip tions collected in this country. That they have been economically distributed, we know. There has been no expensive machinery of secretaries and clerks ; no waste, no jobbing in any shape whatever; and we believe, too, that these subscr►ptions have been judicio►4y distributed. " The object we have proposed to ourselves is only to state the facts connected with the Greek cause in Eng land; and if we have gone somewhat at length into the proceedings of the Greek Committee, it is because we consider that body to have represented the sympathies of English feeling in favour of Grecian independence. The measures adopted by the Committee are sufficiently elo quent to speak for themselves. They appear to us to have been altogether wise and salutary. Of the active spirit which animated that Committee, of the desire they felt to obtain the best information, and to turn it to the best ac count, we ourselves have seen abundant evidence. We know that several thousand letters were received and re plied to by the Committee, referring to almost every sub ject the discussion of which could benefit Greece. For a long time they sat daily ; for two years they sat weekly ; and their relations extended far beyond the limits of Europe. Among them will be found the names of many of the most illustrious of our poets, of our statemen, of our merchants; and certainly no men ever dedicated themselves more cordially to the cause they had espoused. We understand that the new Mayor of Newcastle upon-Tyne (Archibald Reed, Esq.) has already given great satisfaction to the inhabitants of that populous town, by the introduction of a new system of police. It was the custom heretofore to have onl three Conn days weekly (viz. the Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays), for the transaction of public business. His Worship, however, humanely considering the impor tance of quick dispatch of justice, (and many humble individuals, it should be recollected, are imprisoned now-a-days b the Dogherrys of the night for very slight offences), has determined that the Court of the Mayor's Chamber, at the Guildhall, shall be opened every day to transact whatever business may judicially conic before it. Thus, many a poor creature who; but for such a praiseworthy arrangement , might have been incarcerated. the greater part of forty-eight hours, may now haply be liberated in the course of ei g ht or ten. JUNCTION OF THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC °CIA Nc—One of the most extraordinary instances of that change of general policy arising out of the new position in which the South American provinces have placed themselves, is a recent u ndertaking by the Guaiimala Government, to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by a canal, which shall pass through the Lake of Nicaragua. The house which is said to have contracted with the Guatimaia Govesnment for the ondert a ki ng i s th a t o f Painter and to. of the United States.

STATE OF MELANt; Tb +ELF, Eth+oll. OF THE SUN. St It—ihe state of Ireland at, this moment presents a f ea rful picture to the human mind, and, we have rea son to believe, excites considerable anxiety in the rul-_ „ , log ildwirs—n , fair popthatibii in a state of actual starvation, dying by thousands from disease, and ‘v•lth out the means of procuring relief ; the country divided in itselkwith all the rancour of party spirit and reli ioLis discord, and her potir holding themselves as it were in readiness, to break out Into open rebellion at the first word of excitement or permission from those secret initigatd, *ilió are very little known, and who contrive to evade giftftlielon 1 . a coontry in such a state, I say, may well excite anxiety to those vilio are the appointed ,guardians of her • peace. But it is not td chew what she is, for every casual observer may know that, but to lay open some of the causes which have helped to' niake her what • she is, and to endeavour to plied before yoiir readers what might be beneficial to her, ere the inotiVes Which have induced the writer of this to trouble you at the present time, feeling that a long residence in Ireland, and among the natives them selves, gives him an insight into many things which a superficial visitant to this island could not possess, and which the higher Irish themselves would disavow, and hide, from the English, to whom, in ge-. nerai f , i th P° eir s , sb d i is k like is great. The IoW rate of wages is the and the true cause, of almost all the evils we e tl s ie rs ge fi ar t ound us: The Irish labourer, spend ing the spring .of, his years and the strength of his youth, carniot at any time earn sufficient to support himself and the smallest family ; in times of health and full employment. he can barely supply them with potatoes and a little meal, leaving nothing whatever for the little comforts in his cabin, or the decent clothing of himself and family ; and when no work can be had, what then can he do ? whither can he go ? no parish to assist him—no friendly visitants to comfort and re lieve him—in sickness, of course, it is still. worse ; in both cases his wife and children become beggars, and he, having nothing to do, and his mind under the in fluence of disgnst at the inequality of stations in life, is open to the suggestions of those whose interest it is to excite confusion and dissatisfaction. Ido not mean to deny that the landlords are very generous in giving medicines, money, and at certain times clothing, to their tenantry, but the poor man feels wounded in receiving that. as charity to which he . knows he has a right ; for though he may not be able to reason the point deeply, he feels, and keenly feels, that he who tills the soil has a right to live by the soil ; absolutely needing this charity to preserve his life, he implores for it by every moving appeal, and often by any lie he thinks least likely,to be discovered. Thus, to his landlord's face, he is the meanest of syco phants, but on the slightest provocation ready to in jure him in his property by any theft, , and looking for the time when he flatters himself open rebellion will per mit him to seize that which he considers his due-- the gentry of the country never visit the miser able cabins, ,and their • tattered inhabitants, which arises from the same cause, their poverty pre 7 • vents decency of clothing, their single room is full of all manner of filth, with nothing on 'which to sit down, and' of course disease, commonly typhus fever, is, a very usual inmate ; thus, persons are fearful of infec tion and vermin, and thus these poor creatures are left in utter ignorance of every thing they ought to know, and are taught by their priests to believe that it is all arising front the - yrielltednesa of Government in refusing Catholic Emancipation, which they think would act as a charm in making them healthy, happy, and rich ; thus all the evil • passions of untutored human nature are fostered towards their Protestant neighbours, 'be tween whom and themselves mortal hatred is always manifesting itself when able, in acta of malice and re venge. If, therefore, a dry season like the present oc curs, how is the poor man to. meet -the increased price of potatoes and of oats ? he cannot do it, otherwise than by imploring charity front his landlord or some rich neighbour, of whom he has but few, and then too how often is his landlord an absentee ? in this state of misery we can hardly follow our poor brother, he and his family' become wanderers, and thus a very large part of the population of Ireland arc very little removed in any respect from savages. When the tenants are guilty of any acts of rebellion or cruelty, the landholders make bitter complaints of • their in gratitude, little considering that they are living in luxury on the produce of that soil which the poor man has an.equal right to. share. To the poor4ates (which must be introduced into Ireland) the rich have an in veterate objection, because in most cases they would be obliged to pay as a tax what they now delight to think they voluntarily give in charity, and they like their poor to beg that as a boon rather ,than claim it as a right ; but though Poor Rates, established by Act of Parliament, would be the most beneficial Mea sure ever adopted towards this mis-governed country; they would not be sufficient unless the rate of wages was increased and settled also by Act of Parliament ; provisions are not quite as dear as in England, but they are not very materially lower, and the best waes here given to a labouring man, do not exceed 4d. English, per diem, and generally not -more than 7 d.-- Can we then wonder at any thing . that may arise in such a state of things, and shall we any longer be sur prised that conciliating meast res, as they have been called, should fail, when in truth they are but cutting off a branch, when, to . do any good, we must strike at the root ? Schools are in themselves excellent; but the more you enlighten the mind, the more clearly will it become acquainted with its natural rights. Ho not .enter on the question of Catholic Emancipation, be cause it is not the refusing or the granting it, that would of itself do a ny g ood. Increase the wages, give the poor man that which is * just equal to provide • for his relief in sickness and distress, and very soon we ing, as respectable, and as happy, as our beloved Eng should have the happiness of seeing Ireland as flourish land.

(From the Journal des Debate.) The evasive arid dilatory answer which the Infant Don Miguel has given to the defnand of the Princess Regent, bears upon it the dissembling character 6f the Austrian policy; for who can suppose that Don Miguel, at the in stant when he took measures to prolong the discussion ; was ignorant,of the sentiments of the Austrian Cabinet. — It is this Cabinet itself, which, having need to reflect and to gain time, has &fated this answer; which, at the same time, we do not pretend ; to find fault with. We do not like those instantaneous and forced sulrinissions, by which a despotic will would, desire to repress private opinions; ind we ,think that Don Miguel has a perfect right to Con sider whit Pe ought to do, and to stipulate.for those 'pre rogatives which may devolve upon him. His adhesion to the acts of his brother andltg, will be so much the more authentic, and so much the more solemn, as it will corve after mature deliberation and voluntary cofittatt, If, la writing to his brother and King, Don Miguel has made use of iiiiiiabte terms, his letter will be a recognition of Don Pedro's rights Of sovereignty; consequently of his right to frame a Constitution. If not, Don Pedro will, without doubt, send back the ' letter, whiCh will be as if it had never been received. But Prince Metternich, the real author of the letter, will fake care not to send a declaration which might hurt Don Pedro: He only wishes to gain time, in order to demand, ostensibly, some guarantees for the consequences of the establishment of the Constitutional system ; and, secretly, some modifications of the system itself. This dilatory process can have few disagreeable. conse quences, as to nourishing the hopes of the discontented ; but it cannot prevent the execution of the Charter, nor the organization of the Constitutional Powers, By ob liging the Portuguese Chambers to observe a wise and temperate conduct, by imposing on the Regency the duty of an active superintendence, this timid' opposition will only secure. the triumph of true liberty. It is plain, from the circumstances, that Austria has not given either a violent; a menacing, or an'hostile reply to the notification Iron! Don Pedro. Such is not the man ner of that Cabinet. If there was a reply of that descrip tion, it would naturally have drawn. with it a protest, no less violent, on the part of Don Miguel. This answer is altogether a fable, at much as that which is attributed to the Emperor Nicholas. p i rsing concern occupies all political, Another more spirits ; it is, as may be )magined, that of the Turks and Russians. As we were the b.:: st to announce the answer ultimatum. We of Don Miguel, we were also first .in making . known the extent, and the principle of the Russia:.' san now add, that alarm reigns in the Diva: and that the 4 Reis Effendi cried out, before M. Minziacki, you wish to put a knife to our throats.' It is affirmed, that none of the Turkish Ministers, ,nor Foreign Ambassadors, have dared to submit to the Grand Seignior the Russian demands. To demand, conformably' to treaties, that lawful and invariable order should be esta blished in 'Wallachia and Moldavia, is in the eyes of the Turks, to take away those two provinces altogether. With respect to the forts situate in Asia, at the foot of the Caticasus, an arrangement may possibly take place, as Russia offers in compensation some forts recently built in Gouria. The article, however, which most alarms the avarice of the Divan, is that. in which Russia, in addition to the sums due to her plundered subjects, demands from the Porte a round sum of 6,000,000 of silver rubles. Sultan Mith moud will never be prevailed on to,make so considerable a sacrifice. (From the Cotistitutionttil of : Saturday.) The motive of the journey to Paris of Mr. Gallatin, Minister of the United States to the Court of London, and who has been here these two days, appears to be of some importance. They state from London, that this Mi nister, after having received despatches from his Govern molt, could not postpone more than four and twenty hours his coming to have a conference with Mr. Canning. (From the Journal de Parix.) 13AvomisE, Si t r.:34t.--Yesterday 'an "English courier from Lisbon pitied through this town in great haste, on his way to Paris, with despatches for Mr. Canning. From the rapidity with which he travelled, it would appear that they contained something important. (From the Etoile of Sunday.)

His Majesty was surrounded by his august *dna, the hereditary Prince and the Archduke Francis Charles, by five of his brothers (amongst whom was observed the Grand Duke of Tus cany), and the Infant Don Miguel. The Empress and the Archduchesses Maria Louisa orParma, Sophia, and Elizabeth, attended the review in their carriages. Metalliques, 891. Bank Actions, 1060. PARIS, OCT. 7.—The King of Bavaria honoured with his presence the Concert given in aid of the Greeks, in the Great Hall of the Tower-house of Nuremberg, on the 30th September. Severed Journals announce the breaking off' of the con ferences at Akermann, and add, that the army of Bessa rabia is coneeutrating, that it daily receives reinforce ments, and that the Austrian army is about to be consi derably augmented. All those Papers have chosen their time badly, for en deavouring to disturb meal's minds respecting the negocia tions relative to the affairs of the East. It is on this very day, the 7th of October, that the time, fixed by Russia for a definitive answer from the Divan, expires. It can then be of trifling importance, that the conferences at Akermann are suspended, for want of sufficient instructions to the Turkish Commissioners from their Government, since a definitive answer must be given to the Russian Minister, at Constantinople, on the only points which have raised any difficulty at Akermann. With respect to the army of Bessarabia, all the world knows that it has been con centrated for a considerable time. This pretended news shows that the Journals which give it know nothing of what they talk about, and what they say, respecting the augmentation of the Austrian army, is a new proof of it. The Queen of Wirtemberg has been safely delivered of a daughter. A select party was entertained at dinner, on Tues day, by Mr. and MM. Goulburn, with the elegance Much distinguishes the frequent hospitalities of these respected personages.
